This is a statue of the Pietà (Italian for “pity” or “compassion”). It depicts the Virgin Mary seated, cradling the dead body of her son Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. This is one of the most iconic subjects in Christian art, especially in Catholic tradition. Key details in your photo: • Mary: Wearing a hooded robe/veil (often called a maphorion), looking down sorrowfully. • Jesus: Shown with the wounds of the crucifixion (nails, side wound), limp and emaciated. • The composition is very close to Michelangelo’s famous Pietà in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City (the 1498–1499 marble masterpiece), though appears to be made of resin, plaster, or composite stone rather than solid marble). Not 100 percent sure.
